    If you're one of the most brilliant young Ph.D.s in the country and you have an impressive record of publications and sensational recommendations from experts in the field, you probably stand a pretty fair chance of landing a job. Anything less than that and you'll probably have a hard time. In theoretical physics, an average of one or two university positions open up every year (not counting post-docs).

    I think that JPL/NASA should have hired me. I had some real potential for becoming one of the best interplanetary trajectory analysts ever. But they didn't, so I had to remain a hillbilly. Of course, I don't have no Ph.D., so maybe they thought I was stupid. Huh. I figured out transfer orbits on my own, elliptical and hyperbolic, and the patched conic approximation, and how to use it as a starting point for a time-integrated complete solution. I can even account for relativity. But would they hire me? Nope. I got smothered by the preference for credentials. YA even took away my "top contributor" label.

    the two are remarkable!! Arnold used "juice" although yet although, his physique grow to be unseen yet lots has to do w. genetics. same w. Bruce Lee, his genetic disposition grow to be a smaller physique and Arnold's grow to be a much bigger one. SO in case you clearly are huge (locate it trouble-free to bulk up and is extra good so which you will no longer positioned on weight) then it is going to likely be less demanding so which you will have a extra cumbersome and muscular physique like Arnold's and it you're clearly extra lean (generally tall, skinny, and characteristic a complicated time protecting weight on) then it somewhat is going to be less demanding so which you will have a lean and muscular physique like Bruce's. Now I did say like theirs and not which you will gain their bodies lol A Bruce Lee physique won't grow to be an Arnold Schwarzenegger physique and neither will an Arnold Schwarzenegger physique grow to be a Bruce Lee physique. it extremely is not of their genes.
